It was (be) Tuesday evening and I was getting (get) ready to go to bed

Peter. He was calling (call) from his mobile and he was very
annoyed because he had lost (lose) his keys and he couldn´t
(cannot) get into his flat. He thought (think) he had left (leave)
them at work but now it was midnight and the office was closed so
he couldn´t (cannot) get in to check. Luckily I had the keys to his
flat because a month before he had given (give) me a spare set so
that I could look after his cat while he was on holiday. When he
finally arrived (arrive) to pick them up, it was three o'clock in the
morning, and I was lying (lie) on the sofa fast asleep.
